Provided by Jennifer Debth

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like spice)
2 pounds flank steak
Honey mustard (for drizzling, if desired)

Steps:

  • Grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray, then pour in olive oil. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together brown sugar, chili powder, ranch mix, paprika, salt, and cayenne. This is our spice rub.
  • Rub a few spoonfuls of the spice rub onto the steak to fully coat it.
  • Place steak into the prepared crockpot, then sprinkle on remaining spice rub.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
  • Remove steak from the crockpot and use a sharp knife to slice it into strips against the grain (this will basically shred your steak, but will prevent it from creating long and stringy pieces).
  • Serve as desired - on a bun, in a quesadilla, over mashed potatoes, on top of Mac and cheese, as nachos, etc. with a drizzle of homemade honey mustard sauce, if desired!

FLANK STEAK TERIYAKI (CROCK POT)



Flank Steak Teriyaki (Crock Pot) image

This is from Rival's Crock Pot Cooking. 1975. DH loves this sort of thing. I would serve this with a green veggie, probably broccoli.

Provided by dicentra

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 8h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs beef flank steak
6 slices canned pineapple (reserve 1/2 cup juice)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 cup long grain rice

Steps:

  • Roll flank steak, tie and cut into 6 individual steaks.
  • In a shallow bowl, stir together pineapple juice, soy sauce, ginger, sherry, sugar and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Marinate steaks about 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water; combine with rice and 1/2 cup of the soy mixture in crock pot.
  • Top each steak with a pineapple ring, then place in crock pot.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak is a lean and flavorful cut that is perfect for slow cooking. It is important to choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick so that it will not overcook in the crock pot.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak before cooking will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like soy sauce, honey, and ginger.
  • Sear the steak before cooking: Searing the steak before cooking will help to create a crust and lock in the flavor. You can sear the steak in a hot skillet or on a grill.
  • Cook the steak on low heat: The best way to cook flank steak in a crock pot is to cook it on low heat for 6-8 hours. This will allow the steak to cook slowly and evenly. Do not boil.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the steak to retain its juices.

Conclusion:

Crock pot flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. By following these tips, you can make sure that your flank steak turns out tender, flavorful, and juicy. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
